Week in the Life -Sunday

This is my last week in the life post - I have enjoyed it this year especially as I have documented nearly each night. Certainly using the templates makes it easy and Im thrilled I have a full week just like this to add to my Project Life.

The boys were fascinated to learn that not only did Ma write a children’s story she was also in the process of illustrating it.

We skipped mass today as we waited to see what the weather held and what Lisa’s plans were. As it turned out Will’s family came down from Brisbane so they spent the morning with them in Surfers. We headed off for brunch at our favourite cafe and then went shopping for some colouring books and activities for the boys.I managed to revitalise the lovely floral arrangement Richard’s team had sent us last week by replacing the wilting flowers with fresh ones. I am quite chuffed with how it turned out. This morning Richard taught Sofia how to play triominos. She took to it quickly and beat him in just three rounds. Mid afternoon she challenged me and won again. Beginner’s luck I say.I joined Lisa and the boys to visit Ma and Pa for afternoon tea. She has such a small house filled with precious treasures we were a bit wary about how the boys would cope. They were so well behaved except when Chase asked for a ham sandwich - that’s never good in a Jewish household. Or when I went to take photos and he kept turning his back to me. He couldn’t even be enticed with his banana milkshake. Later on though he was all smiles and cuddles when Lisa snapped a shot of him with me. Lisa’s three boys are all so delightful but I keep threatening to keep Chase the littlest. He is so so cute. They all turn on the charm in a way my girls have never done. Ma fills her days with an amazing number of things. She is currently writing some children’s stories and illustrating them. I am not sure if she plans on ever having them published but she is enjoying the process. Today she shared some of her illustrations with the boys. They were so fascinated.After we headed back to our home for dinner. Will was at his work course so it was just the 5 kids, Lisa, Richard and I. We used our extension on our new dining room table for the first time - it worked a treat. The girls would have loved their cousins to stay all night but tomorrow is school and the boys were tired so the evening ended far too soon. It’s lovely having them here even though they aren’t staying with us. I so wished they lived here. Lisa wishes we lived there. I’m not sure we will ever live close unfortunately.

Welcome to my blog, I am so happy you came to visit. I share the stories of my life creating, documenting and loving as a Mumma to twin girls. I am navigating a clean eating lifestyle as I run towards being a breast cancer survivor.
